I have had this set for 17 months now. so far so good except for a mishap. i droped the small fry pan and the handle broke off. but other than that the coating has not changed. There still no scratches or chiping at all. Usally they start chiping on sides where the lid sits. Not these!!! I cook everyday on a gas stove. The heat distibution is great. I must say these the best nonstick pan i have ever bought. I do only use wooden and silocone spatchulas and spoons.
Bought their white granite 4 egg pan loved it so had to buy the 10 piece white granite set Now I have this and Granite Stone which is nice but not as good looking.
Cooking without any oil is always a bad idea. Using oil or butter makes the food taste and cook better. PLUS you dont have to use much oil or butter at all in a Carote pan. I have one of those pans and I have not had one egg stick in the pan yet, and I use a spoonful of butter on all my eggs. The eggs slide freely in the pan while they are cooking. Carote pans are awesome. JUST dont use high heat and dont use metal and they will last quite a while. These pans cooks eggs 100% better than a hex clad pans. I think these pans cook very well on medium to medium high heat only. Slow cook always makes food taste better. If you like to cook on high heat use stainless steel, cast iron or Hex Clad pans. Remember in cooking you use the right pan for the job.
It’s pronounced carOte. The handles are also made of granite ware like the pots. And only use low to medium heat setting. A higher temp will ruin the surface.
Did yours not tell you to wash first then, boil water in them for 5-10 minutes? Then to add a small amount of oil on low heat for a few minutes, before using at all.?

The pots are very nice. Love mine, but you need to know how to clean and how to prep them before use. If you don't start that process correctly, you're not going to get good results. The measurements are on the box or in the instructions. Start low and slow and adjust higher as it gets used to the heat. Cooks like a dream and brown great. You need to wash the pans first with soapy water. Fill pans with clean water each pan needs to simmer 15 or 20 minutes with just clean water. After that empty water wipe dry and now season with a wipe around with oil or butter. Don't stack pans on top of each other without protection between. I know it shows how easy they stack but seasoned pans. Now the other thing this guy drives me nuts. Sorry I have some medical problems that makes me very anxious with repeating same thing over and over. He's terrible cook too.
